Publisher Description
Escape to Summer Hill, Virginia, where no one lets the facts get in the way of juicy gossip…
Terri Rayburn is a girl with a reputation. She doesn’t deserve it but, having grown up on the outskirts of Summer Hill, she knows how small towns work. The only way to deal with vicious gossip is to ignore it. So she keeps to herself as she runs the summer resort on Lake Kissel.
When she returns home from a short trip to find a handsome stranger living in her house, she smells a rat. Someone is trying to fix her up, and she has to admit that Nate Taggert is just her type. However, Nate is engaged to the daughter of the mayor and strictly off-limits.
Nate and Terri form an unlikely friendship while he throws himself into life at the lake. When he hears rumors about Terri, he’s confused. Knowing how smart, beautiful and strong she is, he’s determined to discover the source of the gossip. Terri doesn’t want to revisit the past, but Nate won’t stop until he discovers the truth—even if the truth might be more than either of them can handle.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jude Deveraux is a master of romance, and it’s easy to see why. She knows how to deliver the exact mix of sweetness and steaminess we crave. When small-town outcast Terri Rayburn meets newcomer Nate Taggert, the attraction is immediate—but he’s engaged to the mayor’s daughter. Deveraux writes their flirty dialogue with a light, breezy touch, and once their affair begins, the sultry scenes are as fun as they are sexy. Deveraux’s exploration of the corrosive nature of gossip and secrets through a mystery subplot adds another layer of tension. But even with all that’s going on, she makes it easy to be Team Terri and Nate.

Perfect Vacation Read
I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley to read in exchange for a fair review. Met Her Match by Jude Devereaux is the story that explores life in a small town, the divide between those that live in town and those that live out at the lake and how gossip carries on through generations. Terri Rayburn lives out at the lake, her family looks after the properties that border the lake and rent out cabins to tourists and annual visitors. Terri’s mother disappeared when she was a small child and the people in town look down their noses at her because they’re sure she’s flighty just like her mama. She comes home from a couple of days away to find that her family has moved Nate Taggert into her house as he’s engaged to the mayor’s daughter Stacy and needed a place to stay until his fiancee gets back from a trip to Italy. With nothing to do while he waits for Stacy to return he helps Terri out with the never ending list of things to be done around the lake and a firm friendship is formed. Nate being the kind of guy who likes to fix things determines to solve the mysteries surrounding Terri’s moms disappearance to put to rest the gossip and rumours so that Terri can live her own life and along the way figures out who it is he wants to be. I enjoyed this story very much and hope that the author will write some more stories about Summer Hill, Virginia. Medium Steam.
